Gaming Polygons

Gaming: Polygons

In video games everything you see on the screen is made up of simple geometric shapes called polygons. These shapes can be dilated and rotated to create a visually appealing picture. In this project we will create a video game character.

1. Using ONLY polygons, create a unique video game character on the Coordinate Plane below. Requirements:

· You MUST use a Rectangle, Square, Triangle, Trapezoid, and Parallelogram.

· You can use each type of polygon listed above more than once.

· The polygons must touch each other to create 1 character. No scattered shapes around the coordinate plane.

2. Find the area of your character drawn above. Make sure to show work for each polygon.

3. Explain how the shape of your character would change if you kept adding sides to each polygon that was used to create it? Refer to this website for help in supporting your answer.
